M. Bssa.. u. Ban. M u. B.y.

M.s. Bcc5c, an elderly New London
Iasly, has been . good deal annoyed by
boys who play foot ball in the street be-
fore her house. She had tried entreaties
and threats 10 no purpose, until the
other day, when she had her innings.
In tho course Of the game tho bows
Knocked the ball out of the hounds into
the yard attached TO Mrs. Beebe's resi-
dence, and before the spryest Of the lot
could scale the fence and recover the
rubber sphere, Mrs Beebe had captured
1t, and when q demand was made for its
return she Was deaf to all forms Of en-.
treaty. The boys made two or three in
eszectual attempts to soften Mrs. Beebe's
great wrath for their previous bad con-
duct, but she was adamant and the boys
were in n quandary. After while they
held mass meeting for deliberation ON
the best course to pursue, and finally
decided To form committee which was
divided into subcommittee Of two,
whose duties should be In turn to make
half hourly calls on Mrs. Beebe. and de-
mand the return of their football. They
kept this up all day with little chance
of success, apparently until late in the
day, when it became mere question OF
endurance which of the adverse parties
should prevail. For brute strength the
boys had the call, and ut 8 o'clock Mrs.
Beebe surrendered and threw up the
bah, to paraphrase term in use in
pugihstic circles. --Neo London Day.

The system Of watches common to the
naval and merchant marine of many
countries, especially on American, Eng.
lish and German vessels, consists in
dividing the day into watches of four
hours each, aud dividing the crew into
the starboard or port watches, each tax.
ing alternately four hours watch.
The time Of each watch Is told of on
the ships bell at intervals OF half nm
hour. Half past 10, half past 4 and
half past 8, day and night, arc indi-
Gated by one tapof the bell; two bells
mean I, 5 and O'Clock, and so on to
eight bells, which mean 8 and 70. Tho
bells airs sounded 10y twos; tlu', five
bells yilI be two strokes near together
thentwo other strokes, then one stroke.
Eight bells arc struck by four doublcts.
The dreaded ''midw tch" is from mid
night TO O'clock in the morning. To
avoid this watch always falling to tho
same division Of men the watch from 4 to
s in tho evening is sometimes cut in two
at O'Clock; tho watch coming on at
4 serving only Gill 6. instead OF 8, and
tho watch following coming on at and
serving till 8. Then the watch which
went ofT at comes on again at 8. This
shifts tho scheme every twenty -four
hours.

A Lady,s Strange Pets.

Women have strange fancies- One of
them, prominent in all the fashionable
folIies OF New York, is the happy pro-
prietrcss of nest of white mice. in
which the chief object of her life are
centred. She hangs over them in an
abandonment of alteration, with endear-
ing phrases on her lips; she holds them
lovingly in her bejewellcd hands and
allows them to wander ut their own sweet
Will over the folds and frills of her Par.
isian gowns.
Onc evening at q seaside resort, a little
more than year ago, there was fine
large audience gathered in the one theatre
the city boasts to witness play given by
one OF The strolling companies that make
spasmodic visits to the great watering
piac'. Plenty Of beauty and wealth
gladdened the eyes of the actors and in.
spircd them. The play was capitally
given, but the attention Of the audience
was constantly diverted from the stage
to the stage boxes, in one of which sat
the Lady with the Mice, as sensational
story writers would call her. The play-
full gambols of her strange pets were ex-
citing to behold, and with their hand
some mistress they were the cynosure of
all eyes.

japanese Ma.r,mon,., J.r..

Generally speaking the Japanese men
make kind and aifectionatc husbands.
and the women make virtuous and ex-
empary wives and mothers; and the
children are certainly tho happicst little
imps in tho world; their parents fondlc
and spoil them most cfIectually, and at
the same time never losing their contro
over them. The husband has absolute
control over the person of his wife; at
the same time, one never sees a man
strike a woman in Japan; yet there is
considerable pinchins and s!apping lone
on occasions when those strange aud I'M
governab!e spells of exasperating ugli-
ness known n, tantrun.s settle down
upon their matrimonial horizon. On
these occasions there is consid cradle FREQ
hitting, biting and scratching INDUCED
in on both sides OF the house; but the
greater strength Of the husband invaria-
bly, leaves him master of the situation.
and the belligerent household speedily
resumes its serene and happy course.

Pnper,s Mnnu Uses.

There is apparently no Inni. to the
uses to which paper will eventually be
but, says Alfred Tumble in tho New
York News In the past week I have
seen in various places about town, paper
car wheels, pals, peach baskets, ink
bottles, hats, chair seats, kitchen utcn-
sils, picture frames and lot Of so-called
paper statuary. Paper handkerchiefs
and napkins from Japan arc used as
dinner novelties in polite society. /
read in last evenings paper that a paper
bodied buggy has been built out West.
The cocoanut tree, whose universal util-
fly was once a proverb, must take back
seat. What between the variety Of ma
tcrial paper can be made out OF and the
variety Of service it can be made to yield,
It will soon contest the title Of the eighth
wonder Of the world.

An Historic Residence.

The old Jumcl residence, one of the
most historic landmarks of New York
City, with the grounds attached, between
One Hundred and S xtieth and One
Hundred and Sixty-sccond streets, has
been sold by the owner, Mr.. Nelson
Chase, to Boston syndicate. 1t was in
this house that General Washington
made his headquarters during his CAM
paign on Manhattan Island. The oripi-
nal owner Of the house was Rodncr
Morris, born in 1927, who was an init
mate friend of Washington during tho
Revolution. He married Mary Phllipsc,
an heiress in her own right to so, 600
acres of land. Morris, who remained
loyal to the Crown, went to England.
his and h wife's property being confs-
Gated by the act of attainder passed by
the New York legislature in 1910. The
house afterward belonged to Jumel, Whose
widow u ar.ied A1ron Burr. It subsc.
qucntly became the pro perty of MR..
JumePs ncicc who became tho wife of
Nelson Chase. Mrs. Chasc's children
sought to recover the property in 1865,
and spent in the 10 years litigation
$500, 600, but were finally defeated. In
1880 partition suit was begun, and in
1882 the house was bought in n public
auction y Mr.. Chase, and since then has
been owned by him and his daughter,
Mrs. Caryl. The old mansion is replcte
with historic interest. The bricks used
in its construction were brought from
Holland and still look rs if they would
last for centuries TO come. When Jumcl
took possession he went to France and

rru.. Growing for women.

Massachusetts woman, having an
hour or two each day to spare from
homework, and wishing to earn little
money, decided to try raising strawber-
ries for market. Her piece of land was
hlty-sevcn feet long, and averaged fifty
seven feet wide. The plants were we'll
taken care of through the season, and
the last OF October the bed received a
final hocing, and little later the plants
were mulchcd about two inches deep
with pin needles. Before the picking
season commenced, she bargaincd with
market-man, mile and half distant,
to take all her berries, by allowing him,
as his share, four cents basket for all
berries sold for twenty cents, and over,
and three cents for those bringing less.
In picking, she was careful TO put in
only sound fruit, to have as large Der
res at the bottom of the basket ms on
top, and to have them heaped as high
rs the crate would allow. 1t being n
poor year for strawberries, owing to
dTouth, which did not effect her low
ground, she received good prices. None
were sold FOR less than fifteen cents a
basket The entire crop sold was $50
baskets, for which she received fifty
two dollars and eighty cents. Expenses
were twcnty.one dollars and fifty-five
cents. leaving net profit of thirty one
dollars and twenty-five cents. Il Amcri-
